A hospital is run like any other business with relationships involving friendships, politics, animosity, craftiness, and sometimes sex and murder. Such is the case in the hospitals in the town of Parksville. On the surface all runs smoothly with well trained personnel going about their daily jobs in a routine manner. There may be an undercurrent of threats and promises to pave the way toward increased income and status.
Dr. Gannett, a former surgeon, becomes the Medical Center Director, supervising all four hospitals in the town, a lucrative position with great respect. But he sees on the horizon a tempting way to improve his situation even more. Meeting many obstacles in his path he becomes a changed man, forceful, demanding, threatening those who oppose him in his climb to greater authority. Before he meets his Nemesis he leaves a path of destruction in human lives.
Fortunately there are enough good characters to carry on the superior quality of the practice of medicine in Parksville.
